Fritz-Reuter-Bühne delights Neustrelitz with Quiet! Lothar dies here”!
The anticipation is great in the Landestheater Neustrelitz! On Sunday, November 2nd, at 6 p.m., the Fritz-Reuter-Bühne Schwerin will be on stage and will be presenting the Low German play “Ruhe! Hier die Lothar” (Low German: “Rauh verdorri! Hier starwt Lothar”), which was written by Ruth Toma. Toma is known, among other things, for the touching film “The boy needs some fresh air”. The Low German translation of the piece comes from Kerstin Stölting, who has already successfully translated many other texts into Low German.
The story revolves around Lothar, a misanthrope who runs a tile business. After learning of a fatal diagnosis, he moves into a hospice. There he meets Rosa, a patient who opens up new perspectives for him. Lothar has a strained relationship with his daughter Mira and has never been a friend of people. But in view of his supposed end, he harbors an attempt at reconciliation with Mira. The twist comes when it turns out that the cancer was a misdiagnosis. Now he is faced with the challenge of redesigning his life.
A gripping production
The play promises emotional depths and development, because Lothar, who has already sold his house, his company and even gave his dog to the animal shelter, finds himself destitute. He has to learn to accept help and change in that way. Viewers can look forward to an exciting examination of the topics of life, death and human relationships.
Tickets are a hot commodity. You can do this by phone on 03981 20 64 00 or 0395 569 98 32 or online via the website tog.de be booked. If you want to spend a touching evening with friends or family, you should act quickly!
Low German literature in focus
The play is part of a long tradition of Low German literature that has conquered many hearts for centuries. Low German literature includes numerous authors and works that reflect the cultural diversity of this region. Among the most important representatives is Fritz Reuter, after whom the stage of the same name is named.
The virtual Low German library, which offers a comprehensive collection of Low German works, is particularly exciting. This shows that culture also finds its place in the digital world and is valued by more and more people. This creates access to the wealth of Low German literature, which is kept alive not least by pieces such as "Quiet! Lothar dies here".
We can look forward to this special evening at the Landestheater Neustrelitz, which is sure to captivate all spectators! Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of Lothar and his fellow human beings and enjoy a piece of theater that makes you think.
